Ghana suspends policemen over student protest crackdown

The Ghana police service has suspended three of its officers, including a regional commander, after Monday’s clashes with students who were protesting outside their school.

At least 20 pupils from Islamic senior high school in Kumasi were taken to hospital with injuries after confrontation with police.

They were part of a group calling for speed bumps to be installed following a number of accidents, local media reported.

In a statement, police says handling of the incident was poor and fell short of our standard operating procedure on crowd control.
